I can't help but think of the scene from Monty Python's 'The Holy Grail' when injured Sir Galahad stumbles in a castle full of young nuns.
Very visually stunning but not Sofia Coppola’s best in terms of plot and pace.
Beautiful cinematography, strong ensemble cast, and a haunting tale. Sofia Coppola leaves her auteur mark.
Well-made and stands on its own, but it pales slightly when compared to the original. Colin Farrell is damn sure beguiling, though.
A real slow burn; but by the end I really dug it. Great performances and cinematography.
It’s good but there’s something missing. The eerie effect is achieved but isn’t enough to carry the movie as a whole.
Created a gauzy, sexual, and unsettling atmosphere. Cast is almost too famous - it’s hard to suspend your disbelief.
Well acted & beautifully shot, but this film leaves more to be desired.
The atmosphere is almost palpable, and that's a credit to Coppola's direction. Tension builds slowly, almost hypnotically.
Good but not good enough. Still enjoyable from many points of view (such as the acting and the photography)
